You’ve Earned It

I received a call from my TV provider the other day. After giving me a pep talk about what a great customer I am, the representative explained that I was about to receive, “A very special offer. Something that we’re only offering to one percent of our clients!” Being polite, I didn’t hang up on the guy, even though I knew I wasn’t going to be interested in whatever he was offering. (We have the bare minimum package and don’t want anything more. For years we didn’t have cable at all, but we moved and now live in a donut hole where we can’t reliably get any sort of over-the air-signals. For the sake of getting the local stations, we signed up.) H
